Soroptimist International (SI), founded in 1921, is a global volunteer service for women with almost 66,000 members in 118 countries worldwide. Soroptimist International includes associate membership and e-clubs.

Soroptimist International has special consultative status at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) at the United Nations, which gives it a voice on important discussion papers. It also allows them to attend the Commission of the Status of Women in New York each year where the Soroptimist International President leads a delegation.

Every two years, Soroptimist International launches a Soroptimist International President's Appeal.
